I found this while browsing around Break... unbelievable! A violinist and a DJ work together to make a pretty crazy mix:

I love violins!!

This was a unique change up.

I liked it

Every time I hear super contemporary violinism it sounds like country music.

I personally think the London Symphony Orchestra + Cypress Hill short gig thing on the Simpsons is a better synergy.

i just did a little research on the violinist...

his name is Paul Dateh and he appears to be quite well-trained. he has 14 years of classical training in violin and an undergraduate degree in jazz at the university of southern california thornton school of music

Yeah I don't know him but he seems quite good. He's in a band called "The Live Movement" (on his myspace).

If you want to hear some good electric violin with goth metal music, check out the band Tristania, specifically their albums Widow's Weeds and Beyond The Veil. Great stuff!

Miri Ben Ari is also a pretty succesful Hip-Hop Violinist, and she's from Israel, like me...
Check out her stuff here:

I've been seeing more and more of this kind of stuff. "Hip-hop" violin seems to be getting more and more popular. I actually kinda like the sound.

 

[Sh0eBoX]

yeah it does seem to be an up and coming thing, it sounds really good though i like the concept.

it also just so happens that i seem to have shifted into a hip-hop phase with the recent acquisition of my darth beyers

and btw thanks for the recommendation of miri ben-ari... her stuff is pretty good as well

 

[Squeek]

That was seriously cool. Right up my alley. Thanks for the link!
